"Maria, Iona, Jesse, take Christina down!" Higg didn't move, meditated with his eyes closed, and said, "This is not your battlefield, and it's not yet time for the city to be broken, don't worry, you have mobilized the whole city, and Bobohua City will not fall so easily!" ”

"No, all the soldiers are watching us, and the whole city is watching us!" Mary said, "I promised them to live and die with the city, and you will not want to drive us away!" ”

"You are standing here, it is a sign of cowardice!" Higgsheng sneered, "The Fifth Legion has not yet reached the point where women need to fight on the battlefield, you are shaking the hearts of the army, making the whole city think that our Fifth Legion, Bobo Hua City, has reached the last moment of life and death!" ”

"Jesse, you hold Christina, and Noah will go down to the city first, and Iona and I will never leave this city gate tower for half a step!" Maria said firmly, handing Christina to Jesse.

"What's wrong with women, the witch clan is a woman in power!" Iona also said categorically, "Are women so cowardly in your eyes? As long as the enemy does not evacuate for a day, we will never go down, and we will live on this city gate! ”

Jesse's eyes widened when he saw a few people singing and harmonizing, he didn't know whether to take Christina or not, he had always been obedient to Higg, but the current situation was indeed a bit complicated, and she couldn't judge whether to stay or not!

"Woo woo~~~" Bursts of horns came from afar, it seems that the effect of the cold has been lifted, and the enemies on the east, west, and north walls are about to start moving......

The catapult threw hundreds of stone bullets into the air and roared towards the South City Gate, and the more than 700 Catapults gathered by the enemy gathered gathered outside the South City Gate and outside the range of the crossbow chariots.

At least more than a dozen stone bullets hit the target of the city gate tower, and the crossbowmen and marksmen on the city gate tower were shocked, seeing that the stone bullets were about to smash into the city gate tower where they were, more than a dozen lights suddenly flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and they saw more than a dozen magic arrows sent out at the same time, facing the stone bullets that were about to hit the city gate tower. "Bang bang bang-" After the thunderous sound of lightning and thunder, all of those stone bullets suddenly deflected or exploded in mid-air, and they fell down one after another, and none of them hit the city gatehouse.

Maria and Iona, who were still heroic just now, broke out in a cold sweat, if these dozen stone bullets fell, although they would not destroy the city gate, I don't know how many people would be killed and injured, including themselves.

"What are you doing? Go down," Higg shouted angrily, taking advantage of the catapult's reloading.

"Jesse, let's go!" Maria said to Jesse motionlessly.

Jesse, who was panicked, had to take Christina and Noah down the city gate tower in a hurry......

"Alas, you women, what a trouble!" Higg watched as Maria and Iona remained motionless, and scolded her as annoyed as the enemy's second wave of stone projectiles......

Although Higg relied on a few hours of meditation and the ability of the angel necklace to gradually regain some of his magic power, it was simply insignificant for his vast magic value. To deal with such an attack scene of the enemy, he couldn't hold out for long. Although the magic value consumed by the magic arrow is very low, but the number of stone bullets is too much, and every time a dozen magic arrows are fired in succession, it is also a lot of consumption, and he has no way to deal with the catapult outside the city for the time being, and he does not dare to attack in the city......

……

The defenders of the eastern, western, and northern walls were rested for most of the day, and they were not tired of it, and they were confident in the face of the enemy's attack again, because the heavens had already helped them twice, and they believed that the heavens would continue to favor them.

Some "soldiers" also came up in Bobohua City, dressed in the old armor of the Fifth Legion, which was very inappropriate, and the officers and soldiers defending the city inquired, only to know that it was the city's citizen volunteer team, and they were greatly moved, although they knew that these people were of little use, but with the support of the whole city, what kind of enemy could not be eliminated?

The soldiers of the Fifth Legion used their crossbow chariots, crossbows, and crossbows to deal with the enemy troops who had ascended the city, and the second volunteer team used stones to throw huge stones from the top of the ladder between the wall stacks, and knocked down the enemies who were climbing the ladder from the high ladder, which was simple and rude but extremely effective. At this time, the logistics support team in the city finally showed little of their role, and a load of stones was picked up and placed on the city wall, and bundles of arrows and arrows were also carried up, and warm and delicious meals, as well as hot soup, were also distributed to the hands of every soldier and volunteer......

There was a shortage of stones in the city, so they demolished the houses near the city wall, and moved all the bricks, stones, wood, and tiles to the city wall, looking like they were smashing pots and selling iron......

More and more citizens are scrambling to climb the city wall, and more and more people are joining the logistics support team......

The participation of the citizens really made Higg feel the enormity of this force, and the real masters are in the people, this sentence is not wrong at all, the wisdom of the people is unexpected by those in the Fifth Army Army, although these commands are flash of inspiration but effective.

For example, it turned out that the Fifth Legion generally poured boiling water on the enemy climbing the ladder, and let the boiling water burn the enemy, but the citizens came up with a better alternative, that is, porridge. Add some rice grains or flour to the boiling water, boil into thin porridge, this liquid is more viscous, the temperature is slightly higher than boiling water, because the porridge has a layer of mucous membrane protection, it is not easy to dissipate heat, can ensure that when it is sprinkled on the enemy, it still maintains a high temperature, unlike boiling water, which will soon emit steam, and boiling water in this cold weather after the transportation process, poured on the enemy is not very soup. The gruel is not only hot, but when poured on the enemy, it sticks, unlike water, which is fleeting like water on a duck's back, but remains for a certain period of time. At the same time, the porridge water falling on the ladder will make the ladder very slippery, and the enemy can only climb up slowly step by step if he wants not to fall, which slows down the enemy's siege and gives the soldiers defending the city enough time to shoot them.

Of course, what is more effective than porridge is oil! The boiling oil has a higher temperature, and the enemy who is scalded by the boiling oil can only retreat from the wounded and sick if he wants to have combat effectiveness again, and the lubrication effect of the oil on the ladder is not known how many times better than porridge water. However, oil is still much scarcer after all, and even if the Fifth Army is wealthy, it is difficult to meet the needs of using oil as water to water flowers, so there are still not many people who use boiling oil. But do you think that's what folk wisdom is all about? Oil is expensive, but water is not expensive, a small amount of oil, with a large pot of water, can have the effect of porridge, but it is much faster than boiling porridge, because it takes a lot of time to boil a pot of porridge into a pulp, a mixture of oil and water, it is much faster, as simple as boiling water.

The wisdom of the people has been vividly brought into play in this battle to defend the city! In the spring wind, the southeast wind blows, and in the west and north city walls, there are many people who use wheat straw to tie into many thick torches, and add sulfur, chili powder, pepper noodles and other prickly things to the torches, and then light them one by one, and then douse them with water, relying on the sulfur to continue to burn in them, and the torches made of the whole wheat straw generate a large amount of smoke, and drift along the southeast wind towards the besieging enemies in the west and north, this kind of smoke is charming enough, especially after adding those spicy condiments, the smoke generated, It's just tear gas, the enemy besieging the city, squinting, tearful, constantly sneezing, under the urging of the military order, almost nothing can be seen, and then it will not become a live target for weapons in the hands of the defenders?

……

These methods of defending the city with folk wisdom emerge in endlessly, vulgar, and have no morality at all, but they are such simple and crude methods, which make Ma Porte's hundreds of thousands of troops almost blinded at once, and he wonders if he is fighting against a regular army, he is simply being held by a group of hooligan hillbillies and has no temper, there is really no way, at least for the time being, he can't think of how to deal with it.

Even Higg, who had been struggling to deal with the stone bullets of catapults in the South City Gatehouse, was amazed by the strange strategy of the citizens of Bobohua City, and had to smile at Maria and say: "Anyone who can come up with a way to defeat the enemy, as long as his method is effective, will be rewarded, 50,000 gold coins a way!" ”

Higg believes that under the heavy reward, the wisdom of the people will definitely make people get unexpected results, and now is not the time to care about money, a hundred ideas, only five million.

After three or four hours of bombardment, the enemy's catapult attack finally slowed down, although there were still a lot of stones thrown by the catapult, but there were not many hits within the range of the city gatehouse, because although there were many stones, but the stone bullets had to be polished by craftsmen to improve the hit rate, with ordinary stones, at such a distance, the range was not guaranteed, let alone the hit rate. Coupled with dozens of waves of stone bullets, almost no hit the South City Gatehouse, which made Ma Potter very annoyed, he couldn't figure out how the other party could easily dissolve the power of these catapults, not only that, but also more than 20 catapults shot by Higg, which greatly frustrated all the heavy soldiers of the catapult phalanx, and there were no stone bullets, announcing the failure of this tactic.

In fact, Higg no longer has magic power, and he is very satisfied with seeing such a scene of defending the city, and he feels that he can go to the magic guild with confidence.

There was no rush for the officers to hold a meeting, everyone did a good job, Sigg simply asked the herald to simply convey the business order to the main officers, and then let the heavy shield soldiers protect Maria and Iona, and hurried to the magic guild himself......
